My Rekers were from Srice, Prussia. Joannes Joseph Reker b. 29 Jun 1805. I
don't really know where that is. This info was given to me by a cousin. I am
just starting to research the Reker family on LDS films. She tells me they
were from Recke, Germany too. Maybe the two towns are close together. Will
have to do a search on a map for yours and my origins in Germany to see.
Just thought I'd ask. Thanks. Lois

Hi,

     There is a town by the name of Recke which is in Westfalen. It is west
of Osnabrück near the border of what-was Hannover. It is north of
Ibbenbüren. It is a medium-size town which should be easy to find on
mapquest.com. The LDS has these records:

   Kirchenbuch, 1609-1876 Katholische Kirche Recke (Kr. Tecklenburg)

Kirchenbuch, 1685-1967 Evangelische Kirche Recke (Kr. Tecklenburg)

Kirchenbuch, 1750 Katholische Kirche Recke (Kr. Tecklenburg)

Kirchenbuchduplikat, 1809-1874 Katholische Kirche Recke (Kr. Tecklenburg)

Kirchenbuchduplikat, 1810-1874 Evangelische Kirche Recke (Kr. Tecklenburg)

     Lage and Leopoldshöhe are north of the Haustenbeck area which is north
of Paderborn, also in Westfalen, but not close to Recke.
     
     I have no idea where Srice is--I wonder if that is not the correct
spelling.
